SCF back Uist call for goose managment

THE SCOTTISH Crofting Federation (SCF) Board and Council endorsed support for Uist crofters in their campaign for the Scottish Government to fund reduction of wild geese which are devastating the grazings and the environmentally sensitive machair.

‘At a recent meeting of the SCF’s board of directors and our advisory council of representatives, it was unanimously agreed that SCF is 100 per cent behind the Uist crofters in their struggle to get meaningful support from the Scottish Government to reduce the wild geese that plague them,’ said SCF chairman Russell Smith.
